NS 194 |
Description: |
A beastly trio of SD70M-2s leads 194 upgrade through downtown Lexington. I believe this is the only time that I have photographed a solid trio of these beasts and I think of them as modern day SD45s, although certainly not as photogenic as their 3,600 h.p. predecessor. |

Description: |

NS P61 |
Description: |
While waiting for the second heritage power move from the NCTM to head north to Roanoke, we were treated with a classic consist in run-8 on a late running P61. The NS 7090 second out has been retired since this picture was taken. Sure hate to see these old GP50s go... |

A trio of Union Pacific SD70Ms lead a hot 204 through Kannapolis. I can remember the days when these were as common as dirt and I didn't think much of them. Now with all of the newer power running around, its nice to see a set of the "older" UP widecabs. |

NS P61 |
Description: |
A former CEFX SD40-2 teams up with a former Norfolk & Western SD40-2 that has escaped the admiral cab treatment, and a high hood GP38-2 to drag a heavy P61 upgrade at Five Row. Train P61 is a railfan favorite because of the older second generation power that frequents this train daily. On another note, it sure is different seeing an NS unit with nose headlights, as I believe that this is the only unit on the roster that sports them. |

This BNSF SD70MAC still adorns it's original BN paint as it trails on train 134. Nice to see a BNSF unit that isn't an orange GE! |

The Yadkin Local backs around the wye to put his train away in the Old Spencer Yard on a nice November afternoon. An increasingly rare GP59 was a nice find on this train. |
